GROUNG HOG DAY 2 COMING SOON!


Remember the movie Ground Hog Day starring Bill Murray? Do you remember how no matter what he did he kept waking up to the same repetitive day everyday? He would wake up at the same exact time, and see the same exact people, and engage in the same exact conversations in the same exact location for what seemed like an eternity. Does this remind you of anybody you know?

Since your life is exactly like this movie because you chose to conform and get a boring typical job, you can be in the sequel! The greatest thing about you making the sequel is you don't have to pay Bill Murray his $ 10 million for staring in it. You also don't have to get a large budget from Warner Brothers, MGM , or any other major movie studios! All you have to do is dust off your old digital camera or purchase one from Best Buy for a couple hundred dollars. After that, find someone to record your everyday activities for about a year. I bet your life will be just like that movie won't it. Wake up, drink coffee, get stuck in traffic, work for 8 hours, get stuck in traffic on the way home, eat dinner, watch TV and go to sleep. The next day do the same thing, and everyday after that for the whole time you film your life.

Congratulations you are now a star! See how you easily changed a negative into a positive. I suggest you take advantage of this opportunity while Reality Television is still hot. Can you vision your face plastered on those tall billboards? Ground Hog Day 2 starring __________ in theaters this summer.

Ground Hog Day and Office space are best movies that I seen that can accurately describe how I felt "working for the man everyday". I know how it feels like your in the Twilight Zone or some type of dimension that you can't escape from. Keep pushing forward and you will make it out of there just like Bill Murry's character did.

OFFICE SPACE

Office Space by Mike Judge (Creator Of Beavis and Butthead) is one of my top 50 movies of all times! If you really despise your stagnant life going to work everyday living in the corporate world then I highly recommend this movie. I love the way Office Space uses comedy to project a serious message to us about doing what we really want to do in life. The story revolves around a character named Peter Gibbons played by Ron Livingston who basically can't stand his job. Halfway through the movie Peter is hypnotized and begins to start flaking off at work. He begins to start showing up at work when he feels and neglecting his duties.

One of the funniest characters in the movie is his boss Bill Lumbergh played by Gary Cole. Lumbergh is the typical boss that constantly breaths down your neck with a cup of coffee that appears to be glued to his hand harassing you about some BS everyday. In Peter's case he is constantly hounded over TPS reports from management that appears to drive him up the wall. Peter hates his boss so much he even has nightmares about him sleeping with his girlfriend played by Jennifer Aniston.

The plot thickens when Peter and his friends at the job install a virus into the system at their job that embezzles money into their bank accounts. They were supposed to be under the radar but the amount embezzled was so enormous that the characters panic and a lot of hilarious activities ensue. At the end of the movie the main character Peter eventually leaves his position working in the IT field and gets a job as a construction worker. The moral of the story is to find what works for you. Even though the character probably makes way less money as a construction worker vs working at a software company, he can wake up everyday happy.
